Your patient has become humble; have you drawn his attention to the fact?
Pride in humility, one of Satan's most beloved tactics I'm sure. I'm deeply impressed with the description of real humility in this chapter, though. Humility has everything to do with looking outside of oneself to God and to neighbor. Humility can be glad because of accomplishment, but not any more glad than if another had done what was done. Humility is a recognition of talents and a grateful use of those talents. Humility is never self-absorbed, it does not focus the attention on the imperfections of the individual, whether real or supposed, but instead focuses on the service that can be rendered to others. Humility is in very deed blessedness.
